Mike Miller takes less money to play with LeBron again. Not a surprise. I'm interested to see what other veterans Cleveland tries to lure. Shawn Marion could be a good option.

He is trying to recruit Ray Allen. It will be an interesting team in two years if they keep Wiggins then get Love. Apparently the talks between the Wolves and Warriors hit the same wall again. Warriors won't give them Klay Thompson.
I don't see anyway they get Love without giving up Wiggins. A package of Waiters, Bennett, and a first rounder, which is what I think Cleveland was offering, really isn't anything special. Minnesota could do a lot better than that. Cleveland may as well just wait until next summer for Love, when theh can just sign him outright.

Another proposal to reweigh the lottery to discourage tanking.
Give EVERY team(even the playoff ones) the same chance of landing the #1 pick in my opinion.
THAT would completely discourage tanking because then it wouldn't matter where they finish in the standings anymore. It will be TOTALLY about luck.
Boozer is now a Laker if anyone cares haha.
Maybe now the Knicks will have a puncher's chance to make the playoffs.Just throw the whole east up in the air now. Jesus.
No chance Cleveland is 7th. Even if they go into the season as is, they'll be a top 4 team in the East. The supporting cast around LeBron is better this team around and LeBron himself is good for about 10-15 extra wins. Hell, they won 50+ games back when he was surrounded by the likes Mo Williams, Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Daniel Gibson, a broken down Ilgauskas, Donyell Marshall, and whatever other garbage they could find.
Indiana is worse today than they were when the season ended. I could see them falling into the 5-8 range. They replaced Stephenson with Rodney Stuckey, which is a downgrade. Unless they move Hibbert for a point guard, there stuck with the same problems as last year.
Brooklyn is a little high there, BP.
And Indiana is a bit low.
I think the standings would end up like this :
1. Chicago
2. Indiana
3. Washington
4. Brooklyn
5. Toronto
6. Miami
7. Cleveland
8. Atlanta
Disagree with both of you.
1:Chicago
2:Washington
3:Toronto
4:Cleveland
5:Indiana
6:Miami
7:Brooklyn
8:Atlanta.
Bulls as you said all depends on Rose but I think that roster is good enough in the broken up East to at least be 4th. Wizards will push hard and could flip flop and be the one seed. I agree they can be that good in the east. Bulls and cavs could switch but I don't think the Cavs right now are good enough to be a one seed unless the stars alighn (unless the love trade happens then things change)
I just like the raptors more then the Nets right now.
As for the bottom Knicks might knock on the door and I wouldn't be shocked if Philly is knocking too. They will have a much better team next year.
Then all this is simply your biased opinion then.
Okay. I like the Nets more than the Raptors then. But I'd still put them close to them in the Standings than all the way down to 7th. Just 'cause they let Pierce go means nothing. One player does not make or break a team and I fully expect this Nets team(Opinion again.....mine) to be well within the playoff chase and finish probably behind Toronto(wherever they end up getting ranked; I seriously doubt they will be #3 in the conference) but then again, how will Lowry play now that he's gotten the big contract(and it isn't a contract year)?
